Tusk

By the time Fleetwood Mac would go into the studio to record, Tusk, their friendships and relationships had sunk to an all time low. The band says they couldn’t agree on what song to put onto the album. One of the results of this strong willed conflict was that suddenly there were so many tracks from various band members that Tusk became a double album. Although, tusk ended up selling over four million copies that an astonishing number wasn’t huge enough to impress…

Dawkins decides to bring a little chemistry into this chapter. He brings up the Bohr model, he states atoms being similar to the solar system. The way electrons go around the nucleus is the same way planets orbit. Elements have the ability to be present even with a varying number of neutrons. This is to be called isotopes. His point with this is that these isotopes are very balanced while others may be not so balanced. This will then be called radioactivity. Every isotope that becomes…

is so high that the world is losing more elephants than it can reproduce, they can’t even mate fast enough to keep up with the death rate. The bull, male elephants, have the biggest tusks, so they are the main targets and their numbers have now decreased to half of the females. The female elephants also have large tusks and with their numbers also rapidly decreasing, there are more orphans now than ever. When the orphans are left alone, they can not reproduce and rebuild the herd until they are…

Fisher immediately came in to excavate the bones, which included a full skull, tusks and all. It was an interesting find, since woolly mammoths have been uncovered from Europe to Asia and North America, but Michigan soil has covered about ten woolly mammoths, and 300 American mastodon bones. Chris Widga, paleontologist at the Illinois…

Elephant has felt the mighty power of man dating back to the 14th century BCE. And over the past couple of centuries the tens of thousands of elephants have been killed every year to be harvested for their ivory tusk. Ivory is a white material that contains dentine and is found in the tusk and teeth of animals. The substances has been used in items such as, art sculptures, false teeth, piano keys, billiard balls, jewelry, and other items to show ones wealth. The ivory trade in Africa during the…

Many of Africa’s most iconic animals are disappearing and could be gone within the next 50 years, but there are ways to stop it. Animals are hunted for valuable goods such as their fur, tusks, or horns. There is also a demand for live baby animals, such as gorillas. These babies can sell for up to 40, 000 dollars a gorilla. If the babies are taken away, the species can not repopulate when the adults die.The removal of their youth leaves gorillas critically endangered and possibly gone by 2020.…

A pattern made up of many Swastikas was engraved onto the bottom of the tusk, mimicking the cross-pattern of Ivory in an elephant’s tusk. Once uncovered, the tusk was carbon-dated back to 15,000 years ago, securing the title for ‘earliest known,’ (Campion). The second oldest known Swastika was found “painted on a Paleolithic cave” over 10,000 years ago (“Historical”)…

Even here in the United States, but what separates us from some other countries is we have DNRs’ and the animals here are not as valuable as a rhino or elephant. In Africa the rhino and elephant are in danger, they are being killed for their horn, or tusk because the ivory is very valuable. With all the poachers out there killing animals when they are not…

Poaching is a worldwide catastrophe that not only affects the animals that are being poached but also the environment and the people around them. Poaching is the illegal act of over-exploitation of animals and the illegal trading and selling of them whether it be for killing them for certain parts or just the whole body in general. Africa is a continent in which its animals and people that have been strongly affected by poaching and it is now starting to change African economy and the…

we accept that it is not the main cause of animal death and can actually bring economic growth to regions that desperately need it we can start to do something about it. We should be angry that African nations are not restricting exports of horn and tusk gained though poaching. The people pay to kill animals will be used to help save more animals. That is a hard fact to accept, another is the fact that a full ban on trophy hunting would actually be devastating for animals and for locals. Local…
